Have you looked at theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com? Tons of recipes for all stages.

How are you feeling?

These are the moments where we literally take baby steps, huh? Keep your chin up and believe in your strength and ability to heal through the pain. I know it sucks, but try to stay positive and hang tough. Thinking of you!!

Sometimes it seems like they just don't get it, do they, lol? You're going through so much physically, not to mention emotionally. Your hubs may just be feeling a little sorry for himself, feeling a little resentful of the focus on you, that he's not getting enough attention, or just how his life is affected by all this "stuff". And him being a butt is the last thing to make you feel romantic... My hubs is trying to lose about 30 lbs right now and seems to be doing it pretty easily - grrrr. Anyway, I keep telling him how good he looks, it's noticeable, etc, and do you think it might occur to him to say the same to me once in awhile? Duh...so frustrating. ???? Keep your chin up and remember that it'll pass - till the next dumb thing comes along! Lol ????

I have read that sometimes they will use a stent to correct the stricture. Good luck!

Done!

I had the same thing, and it cleared up within a few days. I also had a patch for nausea, but didn't realize it could've been causing the blurred vision. Interesting!

Congrats!! I'm about 11 lbs from that and cannot wait to see that number below 200! So happy for you. ????

I don't know if this is helpful or how beneficial, but I've come across this type of information a few times. Not sure how necessary it is to "retrain your pouch", but it seems to make sense. I'm only two weeks out from my rny, but I'd consider his in the future if I got off track. Good luck; I'm sure you're frustrated and scared. http://5daypouchtest.com/plan/faq.html

You're feeling exactly what I'm sure everyone else feels going into the surgery - me included. I was so scared the morning of my surgery. It is a scary decision, but a brave one that you're making for a healthier future. Best wishes!

My surgeon requires a two-week pre-op diet that's basically a modified Atkins. No carb, no sugar, low fat, no caffeine, no carbonated drinks, small portions, etc. I was told it was to jump start my weight loss as well as shrink my liver.

Good luck! Waiting is the worst - hoping for the best for you!

I miss toast!!

Wow, that is awesome! Great for you!

I've been lucky enough to not have any issues getting my liquids in since surgery. I try to have 8-10 oz of Protein Drink when I first get up, then breakfast an hour or so later. I also have a bottled Water and Protein drink in between lunch and also dinner. I can't gulp, by any means, but I drink a bottled water in a half hour or so. From what I'm reading and learning, it's a struggle for many who can't get their liquids in. I also switched to pureed foods today, and I'm incredibly full - almost nauseating. I was excited to add some food, but it's kind of grossing me out! ???? Hoping that doesn't impact my Fluid intake. Good luck!
